Hello!
Someone please help me with a little thing? Hehehe
I need a PHP script to download a file to a folder on my server remotely.

Someone would have a ready there? It can be anyone.

Thanks!

Do you mean upload? PHP has an FTP library which can remotely transfer files, you may wish to pass the remote transferring to SSH as well.

how?

I still would need better wording on what you are wishing to do before I specify any further.

I would like to transfer a file from one server to another via a php script. I'm not getting, so I asked for help from the experts. hehehe :c-grin:

Do you want the PHP script to upload the file from Server A to Server B? Or do you want the script to run on Server B and download the file from Server A?

Here's a script to download the file from Server A to Server B. Run it on Server B.

<?php


// Prevent the script from timing out

set_time_limit(0);


// The url to the file that you want to download

$url = "http://www.example.com/bigfile.zip";

$filename = explode("/",$url);

$filename = $filename[count($filename) - 1];


// Save the downloaded file to this location

$fp = fopen(dirname(__FILE__) . "/{$filename}", 'w+');


// Initialize cURL and tell it to save the request to a file.

$ch = curl_init($url);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 50);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);

curl_exec($ch);

curl_close($ch);


fclose($fp);


?>

If the file isn't accessible using HTTP, you could use FTP. Change the url to something like this:

ftp://user:password@site.com/directory/dir2/file.zip

Excellent! I think it will serve. Thank you for the script!
